The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I told you people that just because the Tories were thrown out on their rear ends in disgust that it didn't portend a massive, left wing shift in British public sentiment. You, of course, believe the opposite.

That's cool.

telegraph.co.uk - Labour ban puberty blockers permanently trans stance

Labour moves to ban puberty blockers permanently
Wes Streeting to agree with Tory ruling on powerful drugs for under-18s as party toughens stance on trans issues


Hmm. Doesn't sound particularly "liberal", that.

A ban on puberty blockers could be made permanent as the Labour Party takes a harder stance on transgender issues, The Telegraph can reveal.
Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, intends to stop powerful hormone blockers being given to children via any means, subject to the outcome of a legal hearing.
Laws to ban the blockers being supplied to children by private or off-shore clinics were passed by Victoria Atkins, his predecessor, in emergency legislation ahead of the general election.
But these are due to expire on Sept 3 and the new Government had to decide whether to pass a law to make it permanent. It is understood Labour will now seek to renew the ban with a view to making it permanent.


Politics are complicated, and believe it or not, some outfits still run on what should be the best policy.
